The cause for "smelly gas" discharge can be fermentation of waste products in the colon. This may result from eating food to which you have a food sensitivity, an improper mix of bacteria in the colon or a slow transit time in the colon. Probiotics will typically help shift the mix of bacteria in the intestinal tract to a more "favorable" blend. Food sensitivities can be tested by a trained health care practitioner. Typical food sensitivities are wheat, citrus, soy, eggs, peanuts, chocolate, cow's milk, tomatoes, and potatoes. You can test your transit time by eating something like beets or corn, then look to see when it first appears in your stool --and when it no longer appears. The longer time bacterial fermentation waste products stay in the colon, the more likely they are to move back into bodily circulation.
